  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
A configuration of a portal system 1 as a first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, the portal system 1 includes a portal server 10 and a client device 90. The portal server 10 and the client device 90 are communicably connected to each other via a network constituted by the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a public line network, a wireless communication network, or a combination thereof. The portal server 10 is a device that provides a user with a portal page that serves as an entrance to content provided on a network. The client device 90 is a device that acquires and displays a portal page by transmitting a portal page request to the portal server 10. For example, the portal server 10 may be a device that provides a portal page serving as an entrance to content provided in a group and content related to the activity contents of the group to users belonging to the group. In that case, the client device 90 is a device used by users belonging to the group. Although FIG. 1 shows one portal server 10 and one client device 90, the number of devices included in the portal system of the present invention is not limited.

  Next, the functional block configuration of the portal server 10 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, the portal server 10 includes a user page storage unit 11, an insertion page storage unit 12, an insertion rule storage unit 13, a portal page generation unit 14, and a transmission / reception unit 15. Here, the portal server 10 is configured by a computer device having a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), a storage device such as a hard disk, and a network interface. ing. The user page storage unit 11, the insertion page storage unit 12, and the insertion rule storage unit 13 are configured by a storage device. The portal page generation unit 14 is configured by a CPU that reads a computer program and various data stored in the ROM and the storage device into the RAM and executes them. The transmission / reception unit 15 includes a network interface and a CPU that reads a computer program and various data stored in the ROM and the storage device into the RAM and executes them. Note that the hardware configuration configuring each functional block of the portal server 10 is not limited to the above configuration.

  The user page storage unit 11 stores a user page in association with a user ID that identifies the user. Here, the user page represents a portion configured by content customized for each user in the portal page. The user page is generated based on the input information in the client device 90 by the customization function provided to the user by the portal server 10. For example, the user page includes information representing the type, arrangement, setting content, and the like of display content for each user on the portal page.

  The insertion page storage unit 12 stores the insertion page in association with the insertion page ID that identifies the insertion page. Here, the insertion page represents a portion constituted by content to be inserted into the portal page. For example, when the portal server 10 is a device that provides a portal page in a group, the insertion page may be content generated by an administrator or the like for the purpose of sharing or making known to users belonging to the group. .

  The insertion rule storage unit 13 stores the insertion condition and the insertion page ID in association with each other. Here, the insertion condition is a condition for inserting the insertion page into the portal page. For example, the insertion condition may be that a date and time based on reception of a portal page request is within a predetermined range. An example of information stored in the insertion rule storage unit 13 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, the insertion rule on the first line indicates that the insertion page with the insertion page ID “P” is inserted when the date is “March 2012”. In addition, the insertion condition may be any condition that can be determined from information obtained based on a portal page request described later received from the client device 90.

  The portal page generation unit 14 generates a portal page that includes a user page and an insertion page so that the display can be switched. At this time, the portal page generation unit 14 acquires a user page corresponding to the user ID included in the request for the portal page from the user page storage unit 11 as a user page to be included in the portal page. Further, the portal page generation unit 14 has an insertion page ID associated with an insertion condition satisfied by information obtained based on the request among the insertion conditions stored in the insertion rule storage unit 13 as an insertion page to be included in the portal page. The insertion page to be shown is acquired from the insertion page storage unit 12.

  Here, portal pages including such display-switchable pages will be described. For example, such a portal page has a user interface function that displays a corresponding other page in response to a display switching operation to another page included in the portal page in a state where any page is displayed. Have. Specifically, the portal page generation unit 14 may generate a portal page including one page content and an operation region instructing display switching to each other page among pages whose display can be switched. . An example of such an operation area is generally called a tab. A tab may also refer to a user interface function that switches display pages using such an operation area. The portal page generation unit 14 may generate a portal page that includes a user page and an insertion page so that the display can be switched using tabs.

  When the transmission / reception unit 15 receives a request for a portal page from the client device 90, the transmission / reception unit 15 transmits the generated portal page to the client device 90 by passing the request to the portal page generation unit 14. For example, the transmission / reception unit 15 may be realized by a web server application. In this case, the transmission / reception unit 15 transmits / receives information to / from the client device 90 according to HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol).

  Next, functions of the client device 90 will be described. Here, the client device 90 is configured by a computer device including a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, a storage device such as a hard disk, a network interface, an input device, and a display device. Note that the hardware configuration of the client device 90 is not limited to the above configuration.

  When the client device 90 acquires information instructing acquisition of the portal page via the input device, the client device 90 transmits a request for the portal page to the portal server 10 via the network interface. The client device 90 includes information specifying the portal page and the user ID of the user who uses the portal page in this request. Further, when the client device 90 receives a portal page from the portal server 10, the client device 90 outputs the received portal page to the display device. Each function of the client device 90 may be realized, for example, by a web browser application stored in the storage device being read into the RAM by the CPU and executed. In this case, the client device 90 transmits / receives information to / from the portal server 10 according to HTTP.

  The operation of the portal system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the transmission / reception unit 15 of the portal server 10 receives a request for a portal page from the client device 90 (step S1). The transmission / reception unit 15 passes the request to the portal page generation unit 14.

  Next, the portal page generation part 14 acquires the user ID included in this request (step S2).

  Next, the portal page generation unit 14 acquires a user page associated with the acquired user ID from the user page storage unit 11 (step S3).

  Next, the portal page generation unit 14 searches the insertion rule storage unit 13 for an insertion condition that the information obtained based on this request satisfies (step S4).

  For example, if the insertion condition is a condition related to date and time, the portal page generation unit 14 acquires the date and time (for example, the date and time when this step is executed) based on the time when the request is received. And the portal page production | generation part 14 should just search the insertion conditions which such a date satisfies.

  Here, when such an insertion condition is not searched, the portal page generation unit 14 generates a portal page including the user page acquired in step S3 (step S5).

  On the other hand, when the insertion condition is searched in step S4, the portal page generation unit 14 acquires the insertion page indicated by the insertion page ID associated with the searched insertion condition from the insertion page storage unit 12 (step S6). ).

  For example, when the date and time at the time of execution of step S4 is March 15, 2012, the portal page generation unit 14 inserts the insertion condition “2012 in the first row in the example of the insertion rule storage unit 13 illustrated in FIG. "March" is determined to be satisfied. In this case, the portal page generation unit 14 acquires the content of the insertion page ID “P” associated with the corresponding insertion condition from the insertion page storage unit 12 in step S6.

  Next, the portal page generation unit 14 generates a portal page including the user page acquired in step S3 and the insertion page acquired in step S6 so that the display can be switched (step S7).

  For example, the portal page generation unit 14 may generate a portal page that enables display switching of the user page and the portal page using the above-described tabs. At this time, the portal page generation unit 14 may generate a portal page in a state where any one of the user page and the portal page is initially displayed.

  Next, the transmission / reception unit 15 transmits the portal page generated in step S5 or step S7 to the client device 90 (step S8).

  Then, the client device 90 receives the portal page and outputs it to the display device. In addition, the client device 90 performs display switching between the user page and the insertion page based on an operation by the input device. For example, the client device 90 may perform display switching by transmitting operation information for the tab to the portal server 10 and acquiring the portal page that has been switched to the corresponding page from the portal server 10.

  Thus, the portal system 1 ends the operation.

  Next, effects of the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The portal system and the portal server according to the first embodiment of the present invention can realize both sharing of information in a group and dissemination of information in a portal page and free customization of the portal page by a user belonging to the group. it can.

  The reason is that the insertion page storage unit stores the insertion page to be inserted into the portal page, and the insertion rule storage unit stores the insertion condition for inserting the insertion page into the portal page. Because the page generation unit generates a portal page that includes an insertion page associated with an insertion condition that is satisfied by information obtained based on the portal page request and a user page customized for each user so that the display can be switched. is there. As a result, the portal system and the portal server as the first embodiment of the present invention simply store information to be shared or made known within the group as an insertion page in association with the insertion condition. Such information can be inserted into the portal page without changing the user page. As a result, this embodiment does not require an operational rule that defines a page that must be accessed outside the portal page. Therefore, the present embodiment prevents a reduction in the efficiency of the portal page due to such operation rules. In the first embodiment of the present invention, a user who uses a portal page can browse information shared and publicized in the group on the insertion page, and can browse content customized by the user on the user page. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the content arrangement on the user page customized by the user on the portal page is not changed by the inserted information. Therefore, this embodiment can maintain the user page configured by free customization by the user.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that, in each drawing referred to in the description of the present embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configuration and steps that operate in the same manner as in the first embodiment of the present invention, and the detailed description in the present embodiment. Description is omitted.

  The configuration of the portal system 2 as the second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the portal system 2 is different from the portal system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention in that a portal server 20 is provided instead of the portal server 10.

  A functional block configuration of the portal server 20 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, the portal server 20 replaces the insertion rule storage unit 13 with the insertion rule storage unit 23 and the portal page generation unit 14 with respect to the portal server 10 as the first embodiment of the present invention. A portal page generation unit 24, and a group information storage unit 26.

  The insertion rule storage unit 23 further stores insertion position information in addition to the same insertion condition and insertion page ID as the information stored in the insertion rule storage unit 13 in the first embodiment of the present invention. . Here, the insertion position information represents the insertion position of the insertion page with respect to the display order of each page whose display can be switched in the portal page. For example, the display order may be reflected in the arrangement order of the operation areas instructing display switching to each page. For example, when such an operation area is expressed as the tab described above, the insertion position information may represent the insertion position of the insertion page with respect to the tab arrangement order of each page. For example, the insertion position information may be information indicating “inserting at the beginning” or information indicating “inserting at the end”.

  Further, the insertion rule storage unit 23 can store a condition for the user group ID as an insertion condition. The group ID is information for identifying the group to which the user belongs. The group ID is stored in the group information storage unit 26 described later. An example of information stored in the insertion rule storage unit 23 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the insertion rule on the first line indicates that when the group ID is A, the insertion page with the insertion page ID “P” is inserted at the head.

  The portal page generation unit 24 generates a portal page that includes a user page and an insertion page so that display switching is possible.

  At this time, when one or more user pages associated with the user ID included in the request are acquired as the user pages included in the portal page, the portal page generation unit 24 includes each user page so that the display can be switched. A portal page may be generated. Such one or more user pages may include information representing their display order. In this case, the portal page generation unit 24 generates a portal page so as to include one or more user pages so that the display can be switched according to the display order. For example, the portal page generation unit 24 may include one or more user page tabs according to the display order and include them in the portal page.

  Further, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires an insertion page indicated by the insertion page ID associated with the insertion condition satisfied by the user group ID as an insertion page to be included in the portal page. At this time, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires a group ID associated with the user ID included in the request from the group information storage unit 26 described later as such a group ID.

  Further, the portal page generation unit 24 sets the display order of the insertion pages on the portal page according to the insertion position information associated with such insertion page ID. For example, when the insertion position information associated with such an insertion condition indicates that the insertion page is “inserted at the top”, the portal page generation unit 24 sets the display order of the insertion page at the top. For example, in the portal page in which one or more user page tabs are arranged according to the display order, the portal page generation unit 24 may arrange the insertion page tab at the top of the user page tab array. In this case, in such a portal page, an insertion page with a tab inserted at the beginning may be initially displayed.

  The group information storage unit 26 stores a user ID in association with a group ID that identifies a group to which the user belongs. An example of information stored in the group information storage unit 26 is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 8, the user with the user ID “001” belongs to the group with the group ID “A”.

  The operation of the portal system 2 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the portal server 20 operates in the same manner as in the first embodiment of the present invention from step S1 to step S2, thereby acquiring the user ID included in the portal page request from the client device 90.

  Next, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires one or more user pages associated with the acquired user ID from the user page storage unit 11 (step S23).

  Next, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires the group ID of the user ID included in this request from the group information storage unit 26 (step S24).

  For example, if the user ID included in the request is “001”, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires the group ID “A” from the group information storage unit 26 illustrated in FIG.

  Next, the portal page generation unit 24 searches the insertion rule storage unit 23 for an insertion condition that the group ID satisfies (step S25).

  Here, when such an insertion condition is not searched, the portal page generating unit 24 generates a portal page including each user page acquired in step S23 so that the display can be switched (step S26).

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the portal page generation unit 24 may generate a portal page that includes each user page so that the display can be switched using tabs. At this time, if the acquired user pages include information indicating the display order, the portal page generation unit 24 arranges the user pages on the portal page according to the display order.

  On the other hand, when the insertion condition satisfying the group ID is found in step S25, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires the insertion page indicated by the insertion page ID associated with the insertion condition from the insertion page storage unit 12. (Step S27).

  For example, it is assumed that the group ID “A” has been acquired in step S24. In this case, in step S25, the portal page generation unit 24 searches the insertion rule storage unit 23 illustrated in FIG. 7 for the insertion condition “group ID is A”. In step S <b> 27, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires the insertion page of the insertion page ID “P” associated with the insertion condition “group ID is A” from the insertion page storage unit 12.

  Next, the portal page generation unit 24 generates a portal page including the user page acquired in step S23 and the insertion page acquired in step S27 so that the display can be switched (step S28). Details of this step will be described later.

  Then, the portal server 20 displays the portal page generated in step S26 or step S28 on the client device 90 by executing step S8 as in the first embodiment of the present invention, and performs the display switching operation. The display is switched accordingly.

  Thus, the portal system 2 ends the operation.

  Next, details of the insertion page insertion processing in step S28 are shown in FIG.

  Here, first, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires the insertion position information associated with the insertion condition searched in step S25 (step S31).

  Next, the portal page generation unit 24 determines the display order of the insertion page acquired in step S27 and the user page acquired in step S23 according to the insertion position information.

  For example, a case where a user page and an insertion page generate a portal page whose display can be switched by tabs will be described as an example. Here, the description will be made assuming that the insertion position information is information representing either “insertion at the beginning” or “insertion at the end”.

  When the insertion position information acquired in step S31 indicates “insert at the head” (“insert at the head” in step S32), the portal page generation unit 24 arranges the tab layout of each user page acquired in step S23. The tab of the insertion page is arranged at the top of the column (step S33). For example, such a portal page is as shown in FIG. This example shows a state in which the insertion page arranged at the top is initially displayed.

  On the other hand, when the insertion position information indicates “insert at the end” (“insert at the end” in step S32), the portal page generation unit 24 adds the tab arrangement column of each user page acquired in step S23 to the end. , Arrange tabs on the insert page. For example, such a portal page is as shown in FIG. This example shows a state in which the user page arranged at the top is initially displayed.

  Above, description of an insertion page insertion process is complete | finished.

  In the present embodiment, the portal page generation unit 24 acquires a plurality of insertion pages corresponding to each when there are a plurality of insertion rules that satisfy information based on the request when acquiring the insertion pages to be included in the portal page. May be. In that case, the portal page generation unit 24 inserts a plurality of insertion pages into the portal page in which one or more user pages are arranged so that the display can be switched, so that the display can be switched.

  In this case, the portal page generation unit 24 determines the display order of each insertion page and each user page according to the insertion position information of each insertion page. In order to cope with such a case, the insertion position information may be information that can also represent a display order between a plurality of insertion pages. For example, the insertion position information may include information such as a numerical value indicating the display order in addition to the information “insert at the head (or tail)”. For example, when the portal page generation unit 24 acquires two insertion pages 1 and 2 and the corresponding insertion position information is “insert at the beginning, 1” and “insert at the beginning, 2”. Suppose. In this case, the portal page generation unit 24 may arrange the tab of the insertion page 1 at the head of the tab arrangement column of the user page, and then arrange the tab of the insertion page 2. An example of the portal page generated in this way is as shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the group information storage unit 26 may be configured by a computer device (server 220) that is different from the computer device (server 210) that configures each other functional block of the portal server 20. An example of the configuration of the portal system 2 in this case is shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 15, the server 220 includes a group information acquisition unit 27 and a transmission / reception unit 28 in addition to the group information storage unit 26. The group information acquisition unit 27 acquires a group ID corresponding to the specified user ID from the group information storage unit 26 in response to a group ID acquisition request. The transmission / reception unit 28 passes the group ID acquisition request received from the server 210 to the group information acquisition unit 27. Further, the transmission / reception unit 28 returns the group ID obtained from the group information acquisition unit 27 to the server 210. In this case, the portal page generation unit 24 may transmit a group ID acquisition request corresponding to the user ID included in the request to the server 220 via the transmission / reception unit 15. In this case, the transmission / reception unit 15 of the server 210 and the transmission / reception unit 28 of the server 220 may transmit / receive information according to LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).

  In the present embodiment, the group information storage unit 26 may store an affiliation ID in an organization such as a company as a group ID. Further, the group information storage unit 26 may store an ID given to a group set to include an arbitrary user as the group ID. Further, when each user belongs to a hierarchically configured group, the group information storage unit 26 may store each user ID in association with a group ID representing the hierarchical affiliation. In addition, when each user can belong to a plurality of groups, the group information storage unit 26 may store one or more group IDs in association with each user ID.
